The most important element of the Hilts Restoration were efforts to reach and annex Alanciar, a continent which was separated from Keshtah by a wide ocean. Hilts tasked his chief engineer and High LordEdell Vrai with the task of developing a way for the Tribe to travel to Alanciar safely. After twenty five years of experimenting with uvaks and watercraft, Vrai succeeded in developing airships which were powered by helium and methane extracted from the volcanoSessal Spire. These airships were used during the Tribe's invasion of Alanciar in 2975 BBY. In the end, Hilts succeeded in using the Alanciari Keshiri man Jogan Halder to convince the Alanciari that the Sith did not pose a threat to them. Thus, the Alanciari willingly submitted to Sith rule.

Following the annexation of Alanciar, the Tribe gained access to the continent's industrial base and forests. This enabled them to build a fleet of wooden sailing ships which allowed them to explore the other regions and oceans of Kesh. By 44 ABY, the Sith controlled the entire planet and had realized their goal of reaching the stars. Another legacy of the Hilts Restoration was the Testament of Varner Hilts, which replaced the earlier Yaru Korsin. It was read every Testament Day and acknowledged the Tribe's Tapani origins and their ancestors' experience of being slaves to the Sith LordNaga Sadow.
